The uncomfortable righteous
Ever noticed how we want others to follow rules/laws, but when somebody, really, starts to follow them, they quickly become very uncomfortable?
- You NEVER drove, while intoxicated?
- You NVER stole NOTHING?
- You are ALWAYS telling the truth?
- You NEVER gave a bribe?
When we meet such people, our instinct is to prove that they are lying in their statement of righteousness.
The reason is simple — if they are that virtuous, then we are much worse then we envisioned. And that can not be true!
